This is an unmoderated list. Nobody is in charge. People normally stay
on topic and polite when communicating via this list. However, sometimes
we all tend to stray a little off course.
If the extra traffic on your e-mail account is too much, might I suggest
you configure a kill filter to eliminate certain topics or people for
a few days until the conversation fades away.
By the way (note to everybody)... It takes at least TWO people to have
a flame (or OS) war. If one person chimes in with a pro (or anti) OS
reply, no "war" can take place unless somebody else disagrees with the
first party in this public forum. If you strongly disagree with a post,
consider just sending a rebuttal via PRIVATE e-mail to the original
poster, stating your opinion.
